“So you get to label who is Zionist and who is anti Zionist when that in itself is a metaphor for Authentic Jewishness?”
Did I do that here? I usually only bring Zionism into it when I’m purposely trying to derail a thread; it seems far to on point on this thread to be worth doing that here.
“Yoshon was not kept for centuries in Europe. It is not clear why they didn’t, but such a precedent is not called a kulah.”
Sure it is. The only reason to argue otherwise is if you’re insecure in your frumliness. I don’t keep yoshon. I rely on kulos and so does everyone else. And, by the way, when the Rema and Bach talk about possible heterim for chadash, they seem to be explicitly talking about them as kulos. They would be the last people to be offended by the use of that term.
You’re hung up the the idea that “kulah” is an insult. Adaraba, it takes a much greater posek to be able to find [legitimate] kulos than to find chumros. With this overly sensitive notion you guys are arguing for, nothing could ever be called a kulah under any circumstances.
